ITC names director

The Institute of Texan Cultures is poised this week to name Angelica Docog as its new executive director. Docog comes from the Charlotte Museum of History in Charlotte, N.C., where she has served as president and CEO since June 2010.

Docog starts March 12.

Prior to her title as president and CEO at the Charlotte Museum of History, Docog served as program director there from July 2009 to May 2010. She also has served as director of interpretive services for the Colorado Historical Society (May 2005-June 2009), and as assistant director of the Arizona Museum of Natural History (October 2001-May 2005).

Aaron Parks, assistant executive director at ITC, said Docog will have to navigate the ITC through the redevelopment efforts going on at HemisFair Park (where the ITC is located), and the museum accreditation process, as well as maximize ITC’s affiliation with the Smithsonian.

“She is actively engaged in the Smithsonian affiliation program,” Parks said. “She’s going to play a real key role in our public outreach efforts.”

The museum has been without a director since Tim Gette resigned in the fall of 2010.
